Say whaaa? That car is not even broken in yet!! I wonder where the 27 miles came from since he made arrangement to have it towed to his house to avoid adding 25 miles...I guess from test drives.

Might make a good investment purchase, if someone can store it without driving it for another 15-20 years

Read.

well.. i see many type r's for $25 with thousands of miles.. At the time, some sold for $27 with little miles. Now, this could be one of the few with few miles,

- this 97 type r with 27 miles is an exception..

Please reference these cars for sale......

I have never seen an ITR for sale for that much money, and yes i have been looking around for quite some time.

Okay first things first, 2 miles in 5 years, there's something wrong with that. I would definitely not buy a car that's been sitting for 5 years without engine circulation, refueling, realistic loads on the suspension, the oil is 5 years old for pete's sake!

Unless he idled the car everyday in his garage and changed the oil all the time... I don't know, I wouldn't buy it.

EDIT: Ok, I just looked at the pictures, that car is freakin' beautiful! He must have took care of it rather than just throw it into storage. He should put it on ebay to see how much it would go for:

he probably thought it would be a "collector" car since 1997 was supposed to be the only release of the Type R, it was impossible to buy an 1997 R without paying a mark up since there were so few of these things. 25K is not unreasonable at all since i payed 28 for my 97 R back in 97 bump for a clean 97
